Your note and figure are shown publicly on this page.
The estimate for Rose Cottage is modelled from its 69 m² EPC floor area, the absence of a recorded sale and recent sales of comparable homes in DL2 1SA. It is an automated estimate, not a survey or mortgage valuation: condition, layout and improvements that aren't on record can move the real figure either way.

Rose Cottage has no Land Registry sales on file, suggesting it has stayed in the same hands since registration began.
That can mean the property has never traded since the registry began publishing in 1995, was a new build that hasn't been registered yet, or is held in the same hands long-term.
Median price across the last 5 sales in DL2 1SA: £140,000 (2022–2014).

Rose Cottage is a detached house in Sadberge, Darlington, Darlington (DL2 1SA). It has a recorded floor area of 69 m² (around 743 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band D. The latest certificate (June 2026) shows a D (score 58), a step below the typical UK home. When first surveyed in May 2017 the rating was F, the property has climbed 2 bands since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor, window efficiency went from Average to Good and hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 81), a 2-band jump. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition.
